The violent storms that mourned Corsica on Thursday could be declared a "natural disaster" on Wednesday, as of Wednesday, announced Gérald Darmanin during his visit to Sagone, where a 13-year-old girl died.

Recognition of the state of natural disaster triggers the mechanism that allows victims to be compensated by insurers for risks usually excluded from contracts.

For now, the amount of material damage caused by the storms that crossed Corsica has not yet been assessed.
